The work Portrait of Miss Dorothea Gwladys Tombs, later Lady Butler by Archibald Stuart Wortley was sold in the British Art: Victorian, Pre Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in December 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 22,500.00 (€ 25,067.00), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%.
